### Question: What to expect if I have Huntington%27s disease  (Outlook/Prognosis)?
### Response: Huntington's disease causes disability that gets worse over time.
Persons with this disease usually die within 15 to 20 years. The cause of death is often infection, although suicide is also common.
It is important to realize that the disease affects everyone differently. The number of CAG repeats may determine the severity of symptoms. Persons with few repeats may have mild abnormal movements later in life and slow disease progression, while those with a large number of repeats may be severely affected at a young age.
